Keep Year 6 pupils engaged during the final weeks of term with this end of year cryptogram code breaker activity. This fun and meaningful KS2 transition resource challenges children to decode a farewell message from their teacher using a substitution cipher.

Pupils work through a message celebrating their achievements and encouraging them as they move on to secondary school: You have worked so hard this year and should be very proud of everything you have achieved. Enjoy your summer and good luck in your new adventure.
